You step onto teak and fiberglass, the engine’s low thrum folding into the Mediterranean's steady exhale. Cliffs rise like pages of ancient rock and the Faraglioni stack out of the blue—white limestone catching the sun, the sea daring you to dive in.

You step onto teak and fiberglass, the engine’s low thrum folding into the Mediterranean's steady exhale. Cliffs rise like pages of ancient rock and the Faraglioni stack out of the blue—white limestone catching the sun, the sea daring you to dive in.
Capri has been a prized handful of land since Roman times; Emperor Tiberius built villas on its promontories and sailors still read its currents the way mariners of old read the stars. Geologically, Capri’s cliffs are compressed limestone—scattered caves and arches carved by wave and wind. Local culture leans maritime: small boat craftsmanship, coastal trattorie, and fishing rhythms that set the daily tempo.
On a private 7‑hour charter you’ll cruise past the Faraglioni, glide near Punta Carena’s striped lighthouse, and pause for swims in coves where Posidonia beds color the water. The Blue Grotto requires a hop into a rowboat and a small entry fee; other caves like the Green and White Grotto you’ll see from the deck or enter directly from the tender. Expect a leisurely pace—time for a waterside lunch, chilled prosecco, and snorkeling with equipment provided.
Practical notes: mornings often offer the calmest sea and shorter Blue Grotto waits; pack layered sun protection, a waterproof case, and motion‑sickness remedies if you’re sensitive. Boats provide towels, restrooms, and basic snacks, but bring euros for grotto fees and tips. Respect marine vegetation—avoid anchoring on seagrass—and listen to your captain about currents and jump points. With planning, a private Capri cruise balances relaxed coastal luxury with clear, active time on the water.
No; the Blue Grotto requires a separate rowboat transfer and an entry fee paid locally (typically around €18 per person).
Swimming inside the Blue Grotto is not allowed during the rowboat visits—swimming stops happen at other coves and grottoes where permitted by the captain.
Charters can depart from your chosen town on the Amalfi Coast or Salerno—confirm the pickup port when booking and ask about private transfer options if needed.
Yes; families are welcome but children must be supervised when boarding tenders, swimming, or jumping from the boat.
Sailing Around Amalfi operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
